In addition to helping foster and foster adopted youth build new connections and make new friends\, this retreat will offer an opportunity for siblings who are not currently residing in the same placement to spend quality time together and maintain their familial bond. Registration priority will be given to siblings who do not reside in the same household. Whether attending with a sibling or not\, every youth will gain valuable life skills that can be used long after the retreat has concluded. \nRegistration & Additional Information URL:https://chlss.org/event/foster-foster-adopted-youth-retreat-2/ LOCATION:Camp Knutson\, 11148 Manhattan Point Blvd\, Crosslake\, MN\, 56422\, United States CATEGORIES:Community Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://chlss.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Website-Subpage-Hero-Image-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20241010T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20241010T200000 DTSTAMP:20241114T011530Z CREATED:20240222T212635Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241114T011530Z UID:10001231-1728583200-1728590400@chlss.org SUMMARY:Foster Care & Adoption Orientation (Online) DESCRIPTION:For Minnesota Residents. This is One of Two steps to Get Started Fostering or Adopting from Minnesota Foster Care.\nWe welcome you to attend this free meeting to learn about fostering and adopting children from within the Minnesota foster care system. This orientation will provide an overview of the process and address details about the children being served\, timelines\, fees (spoiler: there are practically none!)\, licensing requirements\, and more. \nThis event will take place online. You can join the online webinars from wherever you are. You will receive a link to complete your webinar registration within two days of registering on this site. \nNote: Along with completing this two-hour orientation\, you will also need to complete our Foster Care & Adoption Education Class. Many families find it helpful to attend this orientation first because it is less time intensive and will answer many of the general questions you may have about the process. \nIf you have questions\, please contact 651.255.2241 or fcaeducation@chlss.org.
